SpeedKore has unveiled its latest creation, fittingly dubbed the 1970 Dodge Charger Hellraiser. For many years now, SpeedKore has been producing some remarkable restomods and the Hellraiser is one of its finest.
Powering the car is Mopar’s remarkable
7.0-liter Hellephant 426 Hemi Create Engine that delivers a cool 1,000 hp and 1,288 Nm of torque. Coupled to this engine is a ZF eight-speed
automatic transmission and a 9-inch Gear Effects Ford rear-end. SpeedKore has
fabricated a custom exhaust with new headers for the powertrain while also
fitting Magnaflow mufflers.
Like other creations from SpeedKore, the
Hellraiser has a lightweight carbon fiber body. The process to create this body
began with a blue-light scan of an original 1970 Dodge Charger before a
five-axis CNC machine creates exact molds and plugs. SpeedKore then uses its
aerospace-grade pre-impregnated carbon fiber and its in-house autoclave to
create the new body panels. The carbon has then been topped off with several
layers of gloss clear coat.
Found beneath the body is a
SpeedKore-designed frame with an integrated 14-point roll cage. The car uses
the front suspension architecture from a C6 Corvette and complete with
aftermarket parts from Detroit Speed and Woodward. The Hellraiser is also
fitted with Penske double-adjustable shocks, aftermarket front and rear sway
bars, and six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo brake calipers. A set of
HRE 3-piece wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires have also been
installed.
